I knew most of the major bits you had in there, but specifics like prize money, exact time and date, sponsorships, player acquisitions, etc are greatly appreciated. I learned a lot However, I think you could have written a bit more about the fighting game community. I feel you could have had bullet points for the first time Alex Valle and the West faced the Japanese in the early days, the rise of JWong's dominance, EG signing MaRN, JWong, RickO as first 'eSports' team to enter the scene, the fall of Empire Arcadia, and coL vs. EG rivalry getting rebooted with fighting game signings. Other than that, fantastic work | ||

Also, I think the whole Puma-EG thing had more importance than was stated in the article. Other than that though, great post!!!! I think the only importance of the Puma-eg thing is tighter contracts... not really huge for esports as a whole... imo | ||

There is a professional Tekken 6 league in Korea... Singapore and Taiwan also have burgeoning scenes. | ||

Good point. Added this: June 2010 Evil Geniuses signs the top fighting game players Justin 'JWong' Wongm Martin 'MaRN' Pham and Ricky Ortiz, becoming the first CS-grown organization to get involved in Super Street Fighter IV and other popular titles. Exactly one year later, compLexity opens a fighting game division with players such as Ryan 'gootecks' Gutierrez. (and removed the EG remark in 2002) | ||

I'd probably mention all their signings; Mike Ross, Combofiend, and FilipinoChamp (all top tier players). Additionally, EG signs the first Japanese players to traditional eSports team: Momochi and Chocoblanka. | ||
